Title: MIDI Channels
Post by billyray on Oct 22^nd, 2002, 10:58am

:-/ From what I see in the other postings here, I am alone with this question or maybe just desperately behind! I am able to use MIDI Yoke to pass MIDI data to Software Synths and external devices (via soundcard), but seem to be unable to use the MIDI "channels", i.e. I can only select one sound on the synth eventhough I have multiple midi tracks in the sequencer. In other words, the symbols, bass drum and snare cannot all be controlled individually on a single MIDI channel. If I do not use MIDI yoke, this is not true. I am running Windows 2000.

From how I understand it, for each MIDI port I can control 16 channels on the allocated synth?

That is true, as long as events are set to different channels, and the target Synth is in multi-timbral mode.

Make sure each track in the sequencer is set to send MIDI on a different channel, and each track issues a MIDI program (patch) change. You can open up an instance of MIDI-OX on the other side of the MIDI Yoke port to verify that you are receiving chanellized data.
